Is Yuki-onna the Most Terrifying Snow Monster?
Season 5
Episode 1
Yuki-Onna, the icy snow maiden of Japanese lore, might steal your heart, or your life. This harsh winter monster is beautiful and dangerous, the incarnation of winter storms - as beautiful and pale as the falling snow. She may have black or white hair, but it is always very long. Her thin, tall body can appear naked but more often it is wrapped in a blindingly white kimono.
